About Engine
At Engine, we’re transforming business travel into something personalized, rewarding, and simple. For too long, managing travel and spend has been overwhelming and fragmented — we’re here to change that. We believe the future of travel should be seamless and powered by technology that delights customers at every step. That’s why we’re building a platform that brings together corporate travel, a powerful charge card, and modern spend management in one place.
To make this vision real, we’re looking for exceptional, mission-driven people to help redefine how businesses manage and experience travel.
More than 30,000 companies already rely on Engine to support over 1 million travelers and billions in annual bookings each year. Cash flow positive with rapid growth, we pair exclusive Engine-only rates, industry-leading rewards, and intelligent automation to help businesses save money while delivering world-class personalization and convenience.
Backed by Telescope Partners, Blackstone, and Permira, Engine has been recognized as one of the fastest-growing travel and fintech platforms in North America, with honors including the Deloitte Fast 500 and Built In’s Best Places to Work. About The Role
Engine is adding a Sr. Manager, Account Directors to our Sales Org. In this role, you'll lead a team of quota-carrying, executive-facing Account Directors responsible for driving expansion revenue across our customer base. Our ADs are the closers — they find the expansion opportunity, build the commercial case, multithread into VP+ stakeholders, and close. As a senior leader, you'll set the standard for pipeline discipline, exec access, and deal execution across the team, coach your ADs to consistently hit quota, and operate as a force multiplier for the broader sales org — shaping territory strategy, hiring plans, and the expansion motion itself. You'll also play a key customer-facing role as executive sponsor on your team's highest-value opportunities, and you'll develop the next generation of frontline sales leaders at Engine.
Your Mission
As part of the Engine team, you'll play a vital role in an environment where innovation meets collaboration. Here's what you'll take charge of:
Hire, coach, and develop a team of quota-carrying Account Directors — and identify, mentor, and grow the next wave of frontline sales leaders on your bench
Own team quota attainment and forecast accuracy — leadership should be able to trust your number every single week
Enforce the pipeline discipline that separates the ADs who hit from the ones who don't: no deal without a next step, and any account 6+ months in the book has an active opportunity or the AD hasn't done the discovery yet
Coach ADs on real discovery, multithreading, exec QBRs, and building buying coalitions that sell Engine internally without the AD in the room
Serve as executive sponsor on your team's highest-value expansion opportunities and strategic accounts, and personally engage at the VP+ level to unlock and close them
Partner with sales leadership on territory design, quota setting, headcount planning, and the operating cadence for the expansion motion
Partner with AM leadership and Sales Ops to make the pod work — signal quality from AMs, feedback loops, and pod NRR are shared outcomes
Leverage data to inspect pipeline health, win rates, deal size, and rep-level performance; intervene early and specifically
Serve as a thought leader, customer advocate, and coach to your team and to the executives they sell into
Build a culture of preparation, ruthless pipeline honesty, and relentless deal advancement
Collaborate cross-functionally with AM, SA, Sales Ops, Marketing, Product, and Finance to remove friction from expansion motions and align on account strategy
